Ode to Good Fridays
It’s become a small ritual of mine to walk the few hundred meters up the tiny hill to my flat after work on Fridays. During this brief walk, I always feel a strange and baseless satisfaction that starts like a soft hum and turns into a full blown symphony by the time I get home. It then disappears as abruptly as it appeared. It might be the warm weather, maybe the smell of spring, possibly even the simple knowledge of the impending weekend’s inevitability… or even… dare I say happiness?
Whatever it may be, it is good.
Friday Fact
The scent of air fresheners in a toilet is, to my senses, no different than the odors that scent is trying to mask.
Wifi to go, no cafes needed. Verizon's MiFi creates a local, portable hotspot using 3G cellular data networks. The gadget seems very appealing, and offers a more practical solution to internet access and mobility. On the other hand, it's yet another gadget to carry around, and apart from the added benefit of sharing a connection (and at 1-5 gigabytes per month, I'm not sure that's very practical) I have to wonder whether building these straight into laptops doesn't make more sense.

Barcinski & Jeanjean is an Amsterdam-based interactive studio. Although I'm not a big fan of Flash, I have to say, their website, and some of the ideas they are working on in their labs, are quite beautifully done. check out some other Papervision3D projects here. (May 8th, 2009, 0)
